histórias e histórias dentro da história... muito legal e ainda vem com uma espécie de anexo, em que a Morte fala sobre a AIDS e a importância de se fazer sexo seguro e, muito importante, não excluir os portadores do vírus, uma vez que o preconceito é a pior das doenças. gostei muito das histórias contadas dentro desse volume.

I was outside the city when I felt hte pain of stitch in my ribs. Mount Calamon was still a distant peak, and I swore, silently, wishing that it was permitted to Necropolitans to pray on our own behalves.

A tale that en-nobles the profession of those who prepare the dead for their journey to the after life. It is full of secrets and ceremonies, as usual, meant for the living. There are tales, within tales, within tales. All fill the reader with a sense of wonder or happiness. The writing has that distinct Neil Gaiman flair. Parts are melancholy and beautiful all at the same time. I did not expect to enjoy this one so much, but it is worth reading!

There's are amazing cameos by The Endless in this story. Did you spot them? Click on this to find out where they come in.The Traveler, with red hair, carrying a stick with a red bundle tied on the end, is Destruction. The six strangers in his tale that revoked the city's charter are The Endless. You can clearly see from left to right, Destiny, Dream, Death, Destruction, Delirium and Desire. I do not know which one of the 7 died.

Very happy to come back to the mainstream plots surrounding Dream and his family members. Listened to the audio-experience Audible Act 3 which encompasses Volumes 7-8 (Brief Lives and Worlds' End)[1], the Sandman Special #1, and other short stories from Vertigo: Winter's Edge #1 & #3 and Vertigo Preview #1.

Looking forward to more backstories and "day in the lives" for other family members such as Desire, and Despair as we've seen with Dream and Death.

Eu gostei do traço dessa história, mas não gostei da história em si. Nessa edição, há uma história de 6 páginas da personagem Morte, falando sobre o vírus da AIDS. Achei muito interessante e informativa. É bem diferente do que costumamos ver nas histórias tradicionais do Sandman.

[Iranoctis]

Egal, wie belanglos die Rahmung auch scheint, die Binnenerzählungen von World's End haben unheimlich Charme und Seele. Die Nekropole Litharge jedenfalls würde ich gerne wiedersehen.

Solid story and the concepts of this world are interesting.

Low 8.6

[Shreyas]

There are tales, within tales, that are also within tales. We go four layers deep into the tale-ception in this issue. One of the better ones, and we do get to see some of the Endless too.

[Jenna Alcock]

Some very good stories, we will find out the truth of this place soon.
